Minimization of Natural Disturbance is an important element of environmentally friendly building practices. This applies in particular to pre-construction land clearing. We have a machine called the Right of Way Clearing Machine. It does not disturb the soil, and it can mulch up to 8 inch diameter trees. It’s an environmentally friendly way to clear land with low soil disturbance. This machine is particularly useful for soil conservation in Parks and Community Planning. Because it clears without disturbing the ground, you usually don’t need a permit for this type of site clearing. It’s an efficient practice that stays within MDE guidelines.

Stormwater Management protects water quality by reducing runoff, and it also helps to prevent flooding and drainage issues. This is another area where a proactive approach is essential, to ensure that the best possible Storm Drain Construction is put in place before the water rises. An early site consultation with Farm & Home Excavating can identify potential issues and prevent major drainage problems down the road. We install and service
